well i do know the german game developers "piranha bytes" who are making rpg games called risen. Those games usual sell around 200-300k copies and are released for pc and console. They have voice acting in their games, own enginge, porting cost to consoles, marketing cost, motion capturing, localization and co. And the games are pretty huge.
The developer team is around 30 people.
So if they are doing profit with making complete new games + porting them to console by selling the same number as a big blockbuster sell on wii u (even if thats poorly comparing to ps/xbox) i cant see why a wii u version wouldnt make profit to be honest.
There is like no way a wii u port of assassins creed would be more expensive as a compelte new game with all the included costs like risen 3.

have you played Risen 3? pretty much all assests are recycled form past games. Which is why its so cheap. is that what you want? cheap games?

yeah i played it. And yeah they recycled alot, but still it cant be cheaper to make those games completly "from scratch" and port to 2 consoles (ports where horrible though) and make profit but just making a port, sell same numbers and dont make profit.
They still had marketing costs (risen 3 had a cgi trailer), voice action, localization costs.
